Okey-dokey, here's my Nude Day contest entry.
It's a theme I've been messing with for a few weeks after finding a thread on Lit dealing with the attraction of married ladies displaying their wedding rings in a variety of inappropriate scenarios.
I steered away from Loving Wives with this one because I agree with some of the comments made by the more vociferous leavers of public comments in that category. This piece focuses on Mrs Stone's wedding rings, and as such, I feel it belongs in Fetish.
Although the competition highlights Nude Day, I don't refer to the day specifically. I do however make something about Mrs Stone being naked.
I hope you get some pleasure from this submission, and that you'll let me know in the form of feedback, either in PM, email, or in public comments below. Even if you didn't like the story you can let me know what I did wrong by the same means.
Okay, I'll close now and let you get on with it.
Thanks for reading.
GA -- Hoi An, Vietnam -- 6th of July 2014.
It was a conversation David Glanfield didn't relish, knowing it would probably be awkward and embarrassing. But, having decided it was his problem, and as difficult as it might be, he felt it his duty to tackle the issue. It did occur to him that Human Resources should really deal with it -- in fact company protocols were quite clear, however, since being newly promoted and with it still being early days, in an attempt to foster a relationship with his team and gain their trust, David thought he'd keep this one off any official records.
All it would take was a five or ten minute chat. David would be the perfect manager, empathetic but firm.
Or at least that's what he thought.
The knock came at two in the afternoon. David was in his office, one of the better ones on offer, one with proper walls, a real door and, most coveted of all, a window. He sat behind a solid desk in a decent executive chair -- a sign of his upward mobility within the firm. At twenty-eight years of age, David was proud of how far he'd come in four years -- not smug, just quietly proud. David appreciated his good fortune and took nothing for granted.
His eyes went to the door, the sound taking his attention away from spreadsheets. David saved his computer work and straightened his tie.
"Come in," he called, rising to greet the interviewee.
She shook David's hand as she said, "You sent for me, Mr Glanfield?"
David remembered to smile, it was important for her to feel relaxed.
He nodded and replied. "Yes, Mrs Stone."
With the flat of one hand David indicated a small sofa and two matching chairs. "Please, won't you sit down?" he offered.
The woman paused, throwing David a curious look before closing the door.
"What's this about?" she asked, moving to the sofa.
Nervous now the moment was on him, anxious in her presence due to the delicacy of the subject, David croaked, "Can I get you anything, Mrs Stone?"
He was also affected by the way she moved in the precipitous heels, her poise and bearing confident. David couldn't help but think she was as sexy as hell, especially since Mrs Stone's mode of dress leaned towards the provocative, and which was, after all, the reason for his summons.
David cleared his throat and felt his face warm when, after settling into her seat, Mrs Stone raised a questioning eyebrow.
"Tea, coffee ... Water?" he suggested, flustered at the effect she had, embarrassed that he'd shown it.
"No, thank you, Mr Glanfield," replied Mrs Stone.
She shifted slightly and crossed her legs, twisting at the waist to lay one arm along the back of the settee, the action pulling an already pressurised blouse tight across her generous frontage.
David swallowed heavily when he saw the blouse gape wider to expose even more skin, and the belated notion occurred that HR might have been a wise option after all. Why did he get the feeling he was swimming out of his depth with this one?
David's eyes moved over Mrs Stone. He took in the sight of her legs, the hem of the skirt riding higher than decorum might prefer, Mrs Stone's positioning moulding the fabric to her thighs. He quickly soaked up the detail of her blouse, a silky, button-fronted creation -- off-white with pale blue vertical stripes and a huge winged collar -- the top three buttons unfastened. David knew Mrs Stone was up there in her early forties, her maturity and immaculate appearance combining in a way that had always appealed to David.
His quick appraisal moved up, away from the deep crease of Mrs Stone's cleavage to her face where he was surprised by a pair of amused blue eyes and a red-lipped smirk.
Seeing her looking back at him made David blink, certainty she divined his anxiety and understood why flustering him further.
Movement caught his eye: Mrs Stone's fingers drumming a silent beat against the settee, the rings on the third finger of her left hand glinting.
The confident attitude of a very self-aware married woman sent a frisson of arousal through David, his cock thickening when an image of Mrs Stone dressed for sex flashed across his mind's eye. He had a notion Mrs Stone would be very vocal in bed, he could just imagine her telling a lover just how she wanted it.
Assuming the married lady took a lover that is. It occurred to him that despite outward appearances -- the skirts, the shoes, the tight blouses and what he suspected were stockings under the skirts -- Mrs Stone might be entirely faithful to her husband.
"Are you going to tell me why I'm here?" asked Mrs Stone, breaking David's reverie, the smirk remaining fixed in place.
David sucked in a deep breath and tried for professional detachment.
"Well," he said, failing with the professionalism and avoiding those amused blue eyes. David sat in one of the chairs and bought some time by making sure his trousers weren't all creased at the knees before saying, "It's like this, Mrs Stone..."
He paused and steeled himself and looked directly at the woman's face, doing his best to keep his eyes away from her devastating dΓ©colletage.
"Although," he continued, veering from a direct confrontation at the final moment. "I'd like to say here and now that this is completely informal. Nobody else knows about the ... uh ... reason for our little chat ... I mean it's just between you and me. Nothing official."
Mrs Stone shifted in her seat, left hand coming up so the tip of a forefinger rested on her temple. She appraised him with a cool, steady gaze. "Mr Glanfield," she breathed, unblinking. "Just get to the point."
The woman inspected a red fingernail, a lethal-looking talon, flawlessly sculpted -- typical of Mrs Stone's immaculate personal appearance.
"Have I done something wrong?" she asked, redirecting her attention on David.
He was quick to quash any suggestion of a transgression on her part. David's eyes widened and he fanned his fingers at her, saying hurriedly, "No-no-no." He snorted at the very suggestion. "You haven't done anything wrong at all, Mrs Stone. In fact," he added, hoping to bring her on side with a little praise, "your work has been exemplary."
David winced inside when he heard himself utter those words. He cringed at how stuffy he sounded, so patronising.
"No," he continued, feebly. "You haven't done anything wrong. It ... It's just..."
Just get to the bloody point
, he thought.
She's a mature, intelligent woman, she'll understand
.
David squirmed and wished he was somewhere else. "Well, to be honest there have been a couple of ... comments."
